Good evening. I'm Kristin Kelly. And I'm Darren Perron. Police continue to investigate a deadly crash -- on I-89 -- that killed a father of three -- last night in Richmond. Rescue crews responding to the scene -- faced an additional challenge. The victim was one of their own. Jennifer Costa joins us from the newsroom with more. Jennifer? Kristin and Darren -- The Vermont State Police -- crash reconstruction team -- was back on the scene today -- collecting evidence -- and photographing the area. 30-year-old Brendon (Cooz-in-no) Cousino was a seven year veteran of the Richmond Rescue squad. He was pronounced dead at the scene after his car was hit head on. The crash happened -- Thursday evening -- near exit 11. Investigators say Cousino (Cooz-in-no) was headed north -- on I-89 -- when a car crossed the median from the southbound side and struck his car. That driver -- 23-year-old Karri Benoir of Barre -- was ejected from her car. She's been hospitalized with serious injuries. State police are still investigating what may have caused Benoir to veer across the median. They've talked to several witnesses. And say criminal charges are possible in the case.

The New Hampshire Attorney General released photos from a deadly officer-involved shooting - after clearing the officers involved. It happened in Bath on July 6th. Officers were there to investigate a crashed vehicle that was driven by 42-year-old Hagan Esty-Lennon. Investigators had said that they believed the officers from the Haverhill police acted appropriately - but did not release video or stills until now. They show Esty-Lennon charging at officers on route 302 with a knife. Investigators believe he already had a self inflicted stab wound. He gets closer and closer and then is shot by both officers. The Ag's office says the man did not drop the knife after repeated commands. And the AG now says no charges will be filed and the officers were justified in using deadly force. Video of the incident will be released next week - after Esty-Lennon's family is given a chance to review it.

((deployment)) General Dubie led the Vermont National Guard -- during the largest call up we've seen since World War Two. ((Afghanistan)) 15-hundred Vermont Guard soldiers deployed to the war zone in Afghanistan in 2010. It followed several smaller deployments. ((Iraq)) And the Iraq war call up. Hundreds of Vermonters were sent to one of the most dangerous parts of the country. ((3:40 I, like many people in Vermont, have some real scar tissue from that deployment.)) General Dubie says the wars were the most difficult part of his military career. And he chokes up with emotion when he talks about the 35 Vermont servicemen who died. ((4:28 You're bringing back some memories, Darren...)) And the families left behind. ((4:35 It was an honor to work with the gold star families and that is something that will be with me the rest of my life.)) General Dubie was supposed to spend two years at US Northern Command.

8} HOMELESS6_PKG

When the temperature drops dangerously low on winter nights, and homeless shelters fill, the state will put up eligible families and individuals in motels. Fewer days qualified this winter than last, but costs for the cold weather housing increased more than 50 percent, as requests for assistance swelled. (00:05:29:00) ((Rep. Brian Savage - R-Swanton I'm certainly not surprised, we do have a homeless situation in the state, it does not appear to be getting better)) Lawmakers say the conclusion in a report released Friday that emergency housing costs are growing unsustainably is not news to them. Republican Brian Savage says the state needs to find a way to control costs... but doing so can't come at the expense of the state's most-vulnerable. (00:08:24:00 ) ((Rep. Brian Savage - R-Swanton in the meantime, we're just going to have to bite the bullet and find the money from someplace )) Emergency housing costs came in one million dollars over its three million budget in fiscal year 15. In fiscal year 16, the budget is only two-point-three million dollars. (00:03:20:00) ((Ken Schatz - Department for Children and Families our plan to address the issue is not to continue doing things the way we're doing them)) Department for Children and Families commissioner Ken Schatz says it's not just the cold weather cases leading to increasing costs. The state is also seeing increased demand for emergency housing from the elderly, families with children, and those fleeing domestic violence. He says housing vulnerable Vermonters in motels is expensive. (00:03:34:00) ((Ken Schatz - Department for Children and Families moreover, it's actually not the best way in our view to provide shelter)) Schatz says communities across the state have different needs -- some a new shelter -- others more transitional housing. He says his department will engage those communities throughout the fall, in search of solutions that can be in place this winter... recognizing they can't count on Mother Nature's cooperation.

From the water to the air -- climbing up above the lake. From the plane, we have a true bird's-eye view of Lake Champlain and the islands. Larry tells me that the festival aims to share the pilots' passion for aviation with others -- and part of it centers around being able to see this view. He points out the islands by name to me as we soar overhead. This is what the bombadiers will see as they ready their citrus ammunition on Saturday. People will bet on the teams to see which sponsors' grapefruit lands closest to the target -- so both pride and money are on the line. And as we circle back towards the resort, it's time for me to do my job! Bombs away! I quickly lost sight of the fruit -- but from the ground -- our cameras were able to catch the splash!

53} SHRINE_PREVIEW_FRI_VO

Since 2001, only one team has won the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. Over the last two years, New Hampshire has not only picked up victories it has dominated the game, outscoring vermont by a combined total of 85 to 6. That could change tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 when the two teams clash for the 62nd time. Since this is a game for senior football players, the teams are new from year to year. The 2015 Vermont players seem more relaxed and just happy to be playing in this annual tradition rather than focused solely on stopping the losing streak. Walking out of Castleton would mean a lot to team 802, but the guys aren't putting pressure on themselves to do it.

(((Anthony Phillip/"We really don't talk about it that much. It is a charity event. It's just a game, but we've got to go out there and just play the way we know to play, so this comes down to who plays harder."))) (((Dennis Smith/"It's not about rah rah, how many games we've lost in a row or this is the year, nothing like that. Every practice is about making ourselves better, executing better, so that come Saturday we're not thinking about what to do, we're executing."))) This weekend is also the annual East-West game in New Hampshire, so many of the top Granite State players aren't at Castleton this week. The 603 still has quite an impressive Shrine game roster, but Vermont is looking to take advantage of the conflict.

(((John Winslow/"I'm sure they brought a lot of athletes here, but that can maybe play into a factor for us, also being here at Castleton giving us a little home field advantage could help us out. Losing the last two football game I've played in and of course a couple of weeks ago, getting beat in the twin state basketball game. It would definitely be the exclamation point on my high school career. So it would be a personal goal for me.")))

56} BRADY_APPEAL_UPDATE_W_VO

For the first time since the deflategate controversy broke, the NFL and Tom Brady's camp actually agree on something. Today, the league and the players association both requested that a decision over Brady's four game suspension be expedited and a ruling made by September 4th, six days before the Patriots season opener. Later in the day, the judge overseeing the case strongly suggested both Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appear in court on August 12th and 19th. Judge Richard Berman has scheduled conferences on both days and also requested the parties engage in "comprehensive, good-faith settlement discussions prior to the conference on August 12."

The Olympic Games are heading back to Beijing. The Chinese city was picked to host the 2022 Winter Olympics today by the International Olympic Committee. Beijing beat out Almaty in Kazakshtan. They were the only two cities left in the running after Oslo, Munich and Stockholm bowed to public pressure and decided not to bid to host the winter sports showpiece. Beijing becomes the first city to host both a Winter and Summer Olympics after hosting the Summer Games in 2008.
